"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship." Romans 12:1
What an amazing school season we have had together, and there is no better way to celebrate than with our annual shaving cream kickball game (pretty light on the kickball part haha).
What a gift it was to be together every Monday night sharing the love of Christ in word and in deed with our friends. We are grateful for our host families who welcomed us in and helped build a sense of belonging (Repass, Snitchler, Seaburg, Johnson, & Capria families thank you so much!).
We are so blessed to be able to work with our volunteers who share their gifts with our students. Our volunteers gave their Monday nights as well as Thursday and Saturday mornings, time outside of our meetings with teens, musicals, sporting events, camp weeks, and weekends while juggling a mix of full-time jobs, college schedules, and deadlines, parenting, getting married and so much more! These people are my heroes and I am reminded of the passage in Romans 12, they indeed offer their lives to share the Gospel.
Thank you for being a vital part of this mission. We couldn't do it without you and though you may not personally know the teens you see in the pictures you are very much a part of their stories.
Please continue to lift us up in prayer as we begin a new season. Our summer season will include some regular get-togethers to connect personally and also share the Word at evening Campaigners. Our leadership team will continue to meet with kids in smaller groups for coffee, ice cream, disc golf, etc.. as the summer allows for more flexibility. We have a camp trip on July 20th - 25 to Lake Champion as well as a local camp experience with Roc East YL and Geneseo YL on July 9 and 10. Would you pray that our time with kids in all of these events would provide us with opportunities to go deeper in friendship and provide a clear picture of God's love?
We also have one of our major fundraisers this summer. Our annual Golf Tournament is July 24 at Ridgemont Country Club. Would you pray that this event would bring glory to God as we share what He is doing in our area and that it would be a good way to sustain the ministry financially?
We are so blessed to be able to be a part of this ministry, thank you for partnering with us!
For Christ and kids,
Max and Samantha
